Sony XM 4 Excellent Headphones.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones with really nice audio quality as well as noise cancelation. Also the fact that you can fold it and put in a case to cary easily is so much better compare to xm5 or 6. Something for this price range is really good. You can always go for jabra or some senheiser but if you are looking for good audio and good noise cancelation, this is the best you can get for this price range which is wireless. The battery life is also pretty good. And with fast charging I get a decent battery just for charging 1 hour.

We appreciate your balanced feedback on the WH-1000XM4 headphones, highlighting their excellent comfort, lightweight design, and effective noise cancellation. We understand that bass preference is subjective; for enhanced low-end delivery, you may want to try adjusting the Equalizer settings within the Sony | Headphones Connect app to boost the bass frequencies to your liking.

Best noise cancelling headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love, Love, Love these headphones! I upgraded from my Sony MDR-XB950N1 "Extra Bass" Headphones, as I mainly wanted the larger cups and longer play time (30 hours vs the MDR-XB950N1 22 hours). I also recently purchased a pair of Anker Soundcore Life Q20 headphones, albeit not a fair comparison as the Sony WH-1000XM4 are more expensive ($150 on sale vs the Anker $40). The WH-1000XM4 fits nicely (even on smaller heads), provides excellent sonic quality, and is an absolute KILLER for noise cancelling. I like the USB-C charging port/cable (vs mini USB). The volume and forward/reverse track controls are unique (you use motions on the right earpad). While I'm okay with the controls, I'd prefer a more traditional method for these functions. But the bottom line is that these are the best noise cancelling headphones I've owned, and I don't hesitate recommending them.

God-sent
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful piece of engineering. You can feel a gush of easy feeling the second you turn on the noise cancelling feature. Absolutely no issues when connecting to my phone as people hear me clearly, unlike my other supposedly noise cancelling ear pods from Spidoc. They are also very comfy with very long battery life. Great for long plane rides. Only reason for not giving it 5 stars is its price.

Amazing quality, sound cancelling is unparalleled
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing, the noise cancelling function is great. I have loud roommates and it blocks out literally ALL of the deep-pitched noises, such as doors/ cabinets slamming, traffic etc. They literally are an indispensable part of my life where I live, as low-pitched booming noises bother me the most. They don't block very high pitched noises a ton, but that doesn't bother me at all. The sound quality is very good too, so good I now watch all my movies and play all my games with these. The cost is a small price to pay for the vast quality-of-life improvements this pair of headphones has given me. I was fortunate enough to receive a pair that hasn't had a defect or the "wind noises" or anything. Try not to sweat in them as I heard moisture can cause this, it's not Sony's fault, they didn't design them for wet conditions. Would recommend 100%, they will block many stressful noises in your life, and I can't even go back to my wired headphones now

Posted .Hello Christopher,
Thank you for choosing Sony!
We're very glad to hear you're enjoying the noise canceling, ambient sound abilities, comfort, battery life, and the case and accessories of your WH1000XM4 headphones!
We recognize that connecting your TV can occasionally be a challenging task. We're here to assist you in troubleshooting this issue.
To connect your headphones to your Samsung TV, first, ensure your TV is compatible with A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) for Bluetooth audio. You can usually find this in your TV's specifications or manual. Then, put your headphones into pairing mode by holding the power button for about 7 seconds until the indicator flashes blue twice and you hear "Bluetooth pairing." Finally, select your headphones from the Bluetooth settings on your TV.

Great Product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing. I was hesitant on buying such expensive headphones but after reading a lot of online reviews I decided to take the plunge. I took a flight from the US to Europe and including layovers these were used pretty much the whole time and the battery was still sitting pretty. Now on to the sound quality. WOW. These are the best headphones I've ever experienced. You can definitely tell the quality that goes into these. The one downside is there isn't much true 360 music out there and that was a bummer. I tried the different services they suggested but in the end cancelled them all. However, even with a lack of music this is still a phenomenal headphone. No pain from wearing them, the tuning for my ears was great, the ability to talk and the music shut off was fantastic, and I enjoyed what all I experienced.

5 stars; blew away my already high expectations!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The durability is what you'd expect (even surpassing) the old saying "you get what you pay for", they're extremely comfortable to wear even for long time periods, and the included case is a continuation of that, especially for keeping cables with the headphones. The sound is absolutely top notch, entering into audiophile levels with bass that should please 99.99999% of ppl (and to use with a few choice non-Sony EQ apps in Android or iOS stores, these *definitely* compete with audiophile levels. The Sony Headphones app is *very* easy to use with a user friendly UI that anyone can navigate/make changes; it's all really self explanatory. Top notch for *any* use...music, podcasts, movies, tv and *excellent* for gaming (too bad the built-in mics can't be utilized, but otherwise makes for *real* immersive gaming I've never before experienced. To use wired with PS4 or Xbox One, the tv or soundbar connected via optical cable actually have more latency than the headphones! Good advantage in FPS games!). The noise cancelling is even better than I read about while researching BTNC headphones to replace my Sony WH-H910N headphones that began having audio probs within 6 months. Being mostly homebound disabled and needing to sleep in the recliner, others can go about their business in early morning without disturbing me in the least as a podcast plays, and even can't hear the woodshop noise of table saw/heavy machinary about 10 ft. behind my recliner throughout the day. The noise cancellation optimizer has proven to be an excellent feature. I was skeptical about some features by some reviews, like sensitivity of auto pause when taking headphones off...but you adjust them as needed without worry; you have to fully take them off as default sensitivity is set. I haven't used much for phone calls, but at least with my LG Stylo 4 sound quality on my end is best I've ever heard from *any* headphones or bluetooth device (the old style pre-smartphone days that came with all phones). I initially bought the Bose QC35 ii Gaming Headset (default QC35 ii's but with a mic included for gaming), and I'm 110% glad I exchanged for these, even if The only real suggestion I would make to Sony (a suggestion, *not* a con) is to put ventillation holes on the inside of the ear cups. Like any over ear headphones they can get a little warm after several hours of use, and having used the Bose QC35 ii headphones for 2 weeks prior to exchanging for these, that did make a noticable difference. Worth every penny...especially if you get them on sale because then the optional 2 year warranty nearly pays for itself.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted noise cancelling headphones that wasn’t too expensive and this was a great option for me! I like how I can cancel the noise, but still hear just enough to be somewhat aware of my surroundings. I like the feature where it stops the noise cancelling feature once you start talking to someone. It also feels great on my head/ears, and I’m pretty particular about headphone sizes and comfort. Sound quality is very crisp as well!

Love the talk function. However, not the best for phone calls unless you’re inside in a very quiet environment. I wear these while out running errands a lot and were fabulous on a very long road trip recently. The battery lasts quite a while too. Very impressed. Connecting to more than one device was a little convoluted but I got there.

Sony Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones! I’ve always had a problem with earbuds staying in my ears or giving me headaches so I decided to buy over the ear headphones. It was an awesome decision, these are so comfortable and the noise cancellation helps a lot when traveling. The sound quality is great but didn’t blow me out of the water. Still great though! Lots of customization in the app. Also, the battery life is outstanding; I was truly impressed. I traveled to the airport and used them on the plane twice in a row and the charge was still at ~90% which I thought was crazy.
